I've had great luck with cross processing, I really like it... but success or failure has more to do with subject matter than anything else... some things just don't warrant the treatment while other normally mundane things really shine with it.

I have gotten good results with Provia 100. This is an example here. Some more in my flickr collection.

That's lovely.
I like Agfa Precisa CT 100.

I don't have many scanned examples around but I've found that the best results come from the films which emulsions develop clear. This used to be Agfa RSX 100 / 200. I believe the Elite Chrome exhibits the same clear emulsion. Additionally, you'll want to over expose by a stop to 1.5 stops to ensure proper exposure. Your local c-41 photo lab might even let you cross-process in their machines!

I haven't been doing enough cross-processing as of late. Shooting with slide film gets expensive but the results are so cool. As far as exposure, I really think you need to test each slide film individually as the results seem to vary with film types.

Over three years ago, this last post.
Stumbled on it through google, looking for good info on cross-processing again, got a project in the works...
I'm not particularly fond of the fluoride colors in this thread, but prefer the almost pastel-like colors that cross-processing slide film in C41 can bring.
Anybody got any nice stuff to show, or recommend me exposure or process for the Kodak Edupe SP663 that I still have in a bulk roll?
Much obliged!

Well, I find that for me, the kinds of colors you get depend on two things... Most importantly the brand and model of film. And then a combo of your exposure vs the developer you use.
I tend to get softer pastels and purples/pinks when I use expired Fuji films. And my Kodaks almost always go crazy bright green, especially the expired E100 stuff.
You can affect change in the results by filtering the shots, exposing differently, and developing longer. How this change works will again depend on the film, it's age and brand and type.
Also, what you are shooting is relevant. Example would be, if you go out into the woods and shoot a bunch of Kodak E100 and the woods are full of green leaves, your shots are going to be bright green to an overwhelming degree. If you use a color filter, you can change this to some degree but what color you use and how much is really a matter of trying it and seeing what you get.
If you are Ok with some post-processing in Photoshop or Lightroom, you can fix the colors and mute down the crazy greens. I typically don't do as much of that myself and leave them how they are. I do like to punch up the contrast some, but if it's bright green, I figure it's that way for a reason.
I've used an assortment of Kodak C/R films and I almost always get the heavy bright green vibe to them. So I would expect your Kodak film will do similar.
For comparison... here is a shot from a roll of expired Kodak E100G...

And then in comparison, tint/tone wise...
This was shot using expired Fuji Provia and the tone/vibe is completely different...

I think your results will tend to be towards the top shot.

Thanks!
I'm planning to have a lab cross process the kodak Edupe film and they will develop it as 50 ASA C-41.
In the past I've had good results and pastel colors from this film in subdued light in the woods, not overly green at all.
But this time I'm planning to shoot bright cityscapes so this will be interesting...

Dear forum friends,
My first roll of Velvia 50.
I just made some random shots to see the film results and I am rather disappointed.
Might the lab had just accidentally processed it in C41?
Or scanned wrong?
What do you think?

It does not appear to be negative (unless you overexposed a brightly white lit scenery against a red illuminated sky with black clouds), so no.
Possible. Or screwed up the processing (missing fix, or colour dev polluted the primary developer). Or you simply expired the heck out of the film (Velvia 50 does not improve with age, indeed it often turns bad even before the official expiration date). You should have visible evidence in the shape of the slides - what do these look like?

It is rather new film but not stored in fridge/ freezer or maybe also destroyed by x-ray in airports as it travelled back and forth China (as I just remembered).
I do not have the slides back yet, only received the scans in advance for downloading.
So at the end the lab is probably not the one to blame but me myself?
I am happy if it is this way, just being curious what happened.
BTW: What should happen to the shape of the slides when expired?
